Good intro, but does not go far enough
I bought this book hoping it would make my job of developing a finite element model using ANSYS easier. But I did not learn much of anything new from this book. I was already familiar with finite element theory and also took the intro to ansys course offered by ANSYS. I had hoped that this book would go beyond what was offered by these two sources, but sadly it does not. Still, for the beginner who knows next to nothing of f.e. methods and ANSYS this is probably helpful.

A good book for begninners in FE.
The book presents the "black box" behind the GUI. The author wrote the book especially for FE beginners. Ansys users will get the maximum benefit out of it. The book starts by explaining the various formulations applied in FEM. Then, 1D, 2D and 3D elements are presented, followed by simple and clear analytical applications in the field of structural, thermal and fluids. In the second half, the book introduces Ansys and then put it at work through a number of examples. The book/author has the merit of keeping the theory and examples simple and to the point. It is probably the only of its kind. This book is a must for beginners in the FEM.

THE RIGHT BOOK TO START WITH
this book is an excellent book for beginners. Unlike other books, this book gives simplified theory and powerful introduction to ANSYS. each chapter has several examples and some of these examples are solved again by ANSYS to verify the analytical results. you can learn the finite element method in any other book of similar size but, you can not learn ANSYS unless you go through the manuals. Therefore, the author did it for the reader. you will learn the FE theory and ANSYS from the same book and in less time than learning FE only from any other book.
